Hi! Our Annual Report for 2025 is out now! Beck ruminates on what's happened for Humble Grove over the last year, what our plans are for the next year, and maybe goes off on a ramble a little bit.

A couple of months back we went to GaMaYo and enjoyed showing off our new demo. Going got our thoughts flowing on game events in general

it’s a lovely game about dissolving a shared apartment at the end of university. and i found a lot of the musings very relatable. there is also a reference to kentucky route zero. so, there is that. the music by eli rainsberry is also phenomenal (tasty ambient guitar).

Kudos to @humblegrove.bsky.social for their work on No Longer Home! If there was any game I could've been playing while in a liminal state, I'm glad it was this one.

17.02.2025 15:30 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0The companion video has lots of juicy extra art and footage not in the post! It also took us a long time because we flubbed most takes. Two reasons for you to watch it.
